Everyone knows a kitchen remodel pays big in terms of increased home value and improved usability of the remodeled kitchen if it is planned and executed properly. However the most important decision you’ll make is choosing the right contractor for the job. Make an informed an educated decision and within several weeks you will have the kitchen you envisioned, make the wrong decision and you could be entering one of the most stressful periods in your life.

Here are a few things you should consider:

• Make sure you are hiring a contractor that offers full design and build services. Working with a company that has certified designers and is a Georgia State Licensed contractor will solve an endless amount of problems before they ever materialize. 

• You might be without the use of your kitchen for several weeks. Electricians, plumbers, cabinetmakers, countertop contractors will need complete access to complete the entire project.

• With regards to the path from the sink to the stove and refrigerator, this work triangle is often badly designed in older kitchens. That means walking a lot more when you're preparing meals and working in the kitchen. Appliances can be a problem, too. Older models may not be working properly and are generally less energy efficient and can look aged even if they still work fine. It is imperative you hire a contractor that has a certified kitchen designer as part of their services to produce a layout to maximize the working space within the new layout.

• What's the number one item that homeowners find fault with in regard to their homes? Lack of usable storage space. But before you put your house on the market, consider a full kitchen remodeling project to solve your objections. All things considered it may wind up being much less expensive than uprooting your family.

• GHR will let you know when your kitchen will be completely out of commission, when it can be used partially, and when it will be fully operational, even though we are still working on the finishing touches.

• Remove cookware, food and other items. Move these items to an area far enough away from the work area to avoid unintentional damage to these items. Consider a place to relocate your refrigerator so your perishable food items will not be lost during the kitchen remodel process.

• If your pets have food or water bowls in the kitchen, move them to an alternate area at least seven to 10 days before the renovation begins so that your pets will not wander into the area once work starts.

• Complete our preconstruction meeting with your GHR site manager. We will know exactly what you need to do with your project. These are general guidelines for a typical kitchen remodeling project; we can give you the specifics for your particular project.

• Make no mistake your life will be disrupted and any unexpected problems will lead to higher costs and delays in finishing the project. Thorough planning will help you to develop a realistic understanding of the work to be done and the costs involved. However, every situation is unique and you will need to hire a qualified professional to do a thorough investigation, find any potential problems in advance of construction and suggest the best solutions.

Rewards:

• Repairing structural problems, fixing leaks and making sure that all services are adequate will prolong the life of your house and make the renovation look and work better.

• Thorough planning will result in a warm, comfortable, useable kitchen with good lighting and plenty of work and storage space.

• A well thought out and executed renovation will increase the value of your house.
